How many of the state champions would beat UConn women?

[Coach Schrapps]

The UCONN Women are not your typical women's team. They would beat the 1A-3A teams. I just dont know about Yates and Bush.

That being said. Tina Charles is a great low post player. Caroline Doty can absolutely play and shoot the lights out of it. Then there's Mya Moore...Wow. She could absolutely match up with any of these teams in terms of her game. She plays the game like a man. That is not a derogatory comment but she doesn't have the form that most women do she shoots like a man. She handles the ball and puts it on the floor and can attack the rim.

[Guest speechless]

yall crazy they aint got no1 who culd stay in front of the pg from ecstacado

ponder had a 6'5 kid that wuld chewd them up

[Coach Schrapps]

UConn plays alot of halfcourt traps which helps take care of that. No one would match up with Moore.

[westend1]

Would the guys get to play with that little ball?  Talk about a dunk fest.

[The Ingredient]

Come on... There is a HUGE difference between the boys and the ladies. Just look at the Griner girl @ Baylor. She gets how many blocks a game just because she can get up near/above 10'. Every state champ has multiple kids who can play above the rim(4a/5a probably all of them) and run the floor too. I agree the Uconn coach could put his girls in positions to score some points, but they would lose to every state champ. Now could they beat many boys teams? yes. State champs, NO!!

1a teams with alot of players playing above the rim? I dont think so. Theres a difference between being able to dunk and playing above the rim. Lebron plays above the rim, the kids in the dunk contest the other night play above the rim. NONE of the state champions have multiple guys who can play like that. You dont think the women can run the floor? They score like 90 points a game.

Starting five for UCONN
Maya Moore 6'
Tina Charles 6'4
Tiffany Hayes 5'10
Caroline Doty 5'10
Kalana Green 5'10

Two bench players 6'2 or taller

Lubbock Estacado 5 leading Scorers
Kevin Wagner 5'8
Clarence Willard 6'2
Ti Russel 6'3
Ryheim Hunter n/a
Barry Johnson 5'10

Looks to me they match up pretty well

you take two fairly evenly sized teams, and give one of those teams a HUGE advantage in atheticism, speed, rebounding, and strength, and they're going to be the favorite to win.  Sure UCONN will have the better coach, but they wouldn't be able to hang with a really good HS boys' team. 

[the wise one]

You cant compare guys and girls teams, the guys would be able to rebound at will agains the Uconn team and everyone on this board knows that if you control the boards you will most likely win.  the boys team would also cause the women to foul like crazy trying to keep the guys in front of them. So the Uconn women in my openion would be able to keep the 1A div. 2 team close the others would win by 10+

Are you forgetting these are Division 1 Athletes who have had expert training in strength and conditioning. Why would they be able to out rebound? When it comes to the fundamentals of rebounding and boxing out I'll take the best Division 1 women's basketball team in the country. so they can't keep them in front of them two words...zone defense.

[shorttexas1]

Well I can see the boys beating up on the girls any day...  BUT 3A and lower would have more trouble.  It is alot about coaching too! I would say the 3A teams could win but 4A and 5A are no doubts.  #A and lower would pound the girls in transition though!    The 6'10" for Bush would pose the girls BIG problems! The tall guards for Bush would be equally hard to handle and the speed would finish them off.  I can't see a girls team handling Yates press, that is the end.  Everyone reads the roster sheet and think Yates is this college team with all that size but they are not.  But there are five guards that make this team go ranging from 5'8 to 6'3!!!  The athleticism of Elton Roy, Brandon Peters, and Joseph Young would be too much for the girls to handle!!! Most people don't know unless they watch Yates... But that team is at its best when they go four to five guards on the court!!! They try to leave the 6'7" kid on the floor but they are tough when those 6'3, 6'3, 6'2, & 5'8 guards are on the court at the same time! (Roy, Young, Peters, and Gardner)

And you have apparently not seen UCONN play.  They have the best girls talent from around the country, AND THEY ARE IN COLLEGE.  Think about how much more practice they have had, their shooting, passing and defending ability.  Maya Moore!  And Geno!  Cayuga is a 1A school.  Sure they absolutely blew out some of the teams they played.  So could Nederland, Ozen, even LCM and Livingston. Cayuga isn't  even in the league of some of the best 4A teams in this area.  Do not underestimate how big of a difference classification makes in basketball.  And quit dissing girls basketball.  Every single one of those UCONN girls is a flat-out outliar.  Being honest; how many boys for Cayuga could play big-time D1 ball.  NONE

[Guest speechless]

im tellin yall it aint even close

boys v girls its to diffeerent leagues

Apparently you didnt see Cayuga play... This was a 1A school that wasnt a typical 1A school, they had 3A-4A athletes.  Could Cayuga play with the 4A teams in this area?  Yes.  You want proof?  Cayuga beat Crockett before district and Crockett (who was state ranked in 3A for a while) beat LCM in the HJ Tournament.  Cayuga also beat 3A Van who won their district and they and Crockett made it to the regional quarters in the playoffs.  Cayuga's only 2 losses were to state ranked 3A Argyle and Navasota in the Whataburger tournament, which were losses by less than 10 pts.  Both of those games were played with only 2 practices since they won the state championship in football.  These guys could definitely hang with the 3A-4A teams in this area, and they'd outphysical several of them.  Ask some of the other guys that saw Cayuga in the state tournament like AAW...

[whsalum]

I have no doubt that Cayuga could play with the local clubs but I don't think many of this years state champs beat the UConn group.

[Guest speechless]

just dont get it

i see girls try to play with guys every year


2 big a differnce

People were saying this last year about new waverly and ponder, Ponder was NOWHERE near as athletic as nw, didnt have the same size, and couldnt run out of sight, or jump up on a curb.......But what was the outcome of that game?

[the wise one]

You are right ponder wasn't nearly as athletic and still won but ponder is way more athletic than u conn girls

[SETXSPORTSJUNKIE]

The UCONN girls would just calmly take shots, hit most of them and win the game, especially on the free throw line.  The Yates boys would get too frustrated by being down at some point in the game, lose their composure, start to foul, get into foul trouble then freak out.  UCONN would defend them nicely because they know how to play defense.  It would be a close game, but in the end, class, composure and SOUND, FUNDAMENTAL basketball would prevail.

Lol spoken like someone who's clueless Yates was down twice in third qtr and won both games

[torbush]

Yea, yates was down by like 6 at one point to lancaster and then wildly proceeded to score 20 points in the last two minutes haha. Yates and bush would beat the Uconn girls, but the other teams couldnt beat em.

[Guest speechless]

ALL 6 WOULD BEAT EM!!!

[/quote]You're dreaming.One of these girls has a 26" vertical, now there isn't many guys at the high school level that can jump like that .After watching the first half I'm taking Bush off the list.The U Conn women would go 5-1 against this years state champs.The run the floor,handle the press,screen and shoot the ball better than any womens team I've ever seen.Yates I think would just be too fast for them but they were #1 in the nation at the high school level.

[katdaddy]

Anyone who thinks UConn would win more than 1 of these games is insane. I remember way back when our HS varsity team used to scrimmage the Lamar Lady Cards the year they went to the Great 8. We were last in our 4A district, and we absolutelty murdered them every time. They were by no means the quality of UConn, and the womens game has improved, but Great 8 aint bad, and I think we won a total of 3 games all season. In college we were at Vanderbilt for a conference, and we ended up scrimmaging the Lady Commodores (who were a top 5 team). All of us were 6 ft and under, and we embarrassed those girls. Sorry, the just is no comparison.
